UHSConnect Secure Messaging

UHS patients who would like to communicate with their University Health Service and University Counseling Center health care providers must do so via UHSConnect, a secure messaging service. You can use UHSConnect to send messages to your UHS/UCC provider(s) and to receive messages, lab, and other test results. All information communicated via UHSConnect is secure, confidential and becomes a part of your UHS/UCC electronic health record.

If you have already registered, go to https://UHSConnect.ur.rochester.edu to login or to reset your password. You will receive an email message any time a UHS or UCC provider sends you a secure message through UHSConnect.

UHSConnect must NOT be used for urgent or life-threatening concerns.
If your concern is urgent or life-threatening, call UHS at 585-275-2662, UCC at 585-275-3113, or Public Safety at 585-275-3333 for assistance.
